A captures pulsejet on a stand. Notice that is operating by being fed
air, fuel, and notice the spark plug lead.
Again, notice how the pulsejet CANNOT operate INDEPENDENTLY without
flying at at least 186 mph.

It's a test stand. Maybe they were testing the engine over a range of simulated
air speeds. Who knows. It is still not an operational V-1 engine or launch.

You have been shown video of the engines running without forced air. That
should be proof enough. Look at the videos of the V-1 launches. The engines
were running before the piston was fired.There was no air being forced in. Are
you suggesting the Nazis were going to launch a V-1 and HOPE the engine kicks
in before the end of the ramp? Are you suggesting there's a hidden forced air
source that just happenes to vanish about the time the missle leaves the ramp?

There was a prototype engine that had a row of glassed over observation ports
down one side. See if you can find the footage of it. I have seen it on
television a few times and do not recall it being hooked up to a forced air
system.

Perhaps we're conflating the pulse jet and the ram jet?

I thought that the distinction between the two was just that: the
pulse jet could function without forced air, the ram jet couldn't.

But Rob has assured us that the pulse jet is a form of a ram jet, just as he
has assured us that pulse jets can't run or be started in a static mose
without forced air. So far his assurances have not generated much
confidence.

Err...that should be "mode". Not "mose", and not "moose" (having encountered
a couple of those critters up-close-and-personal while trout fishing, I'd be
reluctant to try and insert *any* kind of foreign object in said beast even
if he was standing still).
